The end of NATO: US plans to expand into Greenland test Atlantic treaty

US President Trump stands to go down in history if he manages to acquire Greenland for the United States. It would be the single largest territorial expansion in US history, bigger than even the Louisiana Purchase. But it might come with some consequences, namely, the potential destruction of NATO. So, will Denmark come to the table, or will it fall back on its NATO allies to hold off America’s insatiable appetite for expansion? To discuss all of this and the situation in Europe and Ukraine, John Kiriakou is joined on this episode of The Whistleblowers by Alex Krainer, geopolitical and global market analyst. Don’t miss it!

Paul Wright, founder and Executive Director of the Human Rights Defense Center joins us for a deeper analysis.

Will Iran be next? Meanwhile, the US is showing more strength than ever in South America with the recent capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. So, is the neoconservative trend of success going to continue? Or has Russia’s so far successful resistance to NATO in Ukraine thrown a wrench into the neocon plan? To discuss all of this and more, John Kiriakou is joined on this episode of The Whistleblowers by political analyst, author, podcast host, and Norwegian professor Glenn Diesen.
